We estimated shoreline changes over the last five decades in a part of the southeast coast of India at Cuddalore by using multitemporal satellite images from six different time-windows (i.e. 1972, 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020) and the digital shoreline analysis system tool (DSAS 5.0). The linear...
